About the IAS

This event is organized on behalf of the International Association of Sedimentologists.

The International Association of Sedimentologists was founded at the International Geological Congress in Algiers on 11 September 1952, to promote the study of Sedimentology by:

publication, discussion and comparison of research results,

encouraging the interchange of research, particularly where international cooperation is desirable,

promoting integration with other disciplines.
